How to build SAMS from the tiles
In 7 Little Words you don't type the answer — you assemble it from the puzzle's shared tile bank, and every tile is used exactly once across all seven answers. Puzzle 5's tiles for July 20, 2026 are:
HUB · BLE · FIL · MM · AK · ER · CR · YI · NG · SA · MS · NI · CK · LAR · CEN · OUS · RE · DW · IN · GS
SAMS is built by combining the tiles SA · MS in order. Because those tiles come out of the shared bank, locking in SAMS early also narrows what's left for the other six clues.
